Abstract
This paper presents a decentralized successive approximation voltage regulation method for vertical switched-tank modular (STM) converter arrays. This method enables the vertical STM array to adaptively adjust the number of effective working modules according to different voltage requirements, making the array a gain-adjustable DC-DC transformer (DCX). This capability enables the STM array to be suitable for a variety of applications. In order to simplify the control method, the relationship between the gain of STM array and frequency is derived. A prototype with 1 column and 3 rows is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
